The End of Suburbia

I just had the opportunity to see a movie that came out in 2004 called The End of Suburbia. It is a very educational -- and disturbing – movie about what will happen now that we have reached peak oil. It discusses how oil’s limited availability will affect our lives – how we work, where we live, how we eat, etc. You’ll realize after watching this that quite frankly EVERYTHING revolves around oil.

It is 78 minutes long and you can watch it online or purchase it to watch with your greenie friends (and to educate your brown friends so they turn green!). I beg of you – please check it out!
